up, and to the end of the game was hit
hard and freely. Capt. Comiskey
heavy work at the bat and on bases con-
tributed greatly to the champions sue
cess. FOutZ pitched beautiful game
and was superbly supported by Boyle.

Browns magnificent base running, the
fielding of Latham and McGarr and the
slick work of O'Neill were the best feat
ures of the game. Score:

error cost two runs. Mcclellan was the

Tony Mullane, the crack pitcher of the
CincinnatiS, was suspended by Man
ager SmeltZ just before the Brooklyn
game this afternoon, for insubOrdina-
ton. The act consisted in his refusal
to pitch as ordeded. In addition to his
suspension fine of 500 was imposed.
Mullane this morning informed the
manager that he would not pitch, avOw-
ing as his reason that the other men
ought to do some work.
